Add Anthropic, OpenAI and Gemini AI keys

What each key is for, where to get it and where to paste it in WooMate.

What it's for

WooMate AI, Studio and graphics run on your own keys. You pay the provider for what you use. WooMate doesn't add anything on top.

For the chat and texts you need an Anthropic or OpenAI key. A Gemini key alone won't run them.

To create a key, you need an account with the provider that has funds for API usage.

Anthropic key

1. Open console.anthropic.com/settings/keys and sign up or sign in.
2. Add funds under Billing. The key won't work without them.
3. Click API Keys → Create Key.
4. Give it a name, e.g. "WooMate", and click Create.
5. Copy the key. It starts with sk-ant-. Once you close the window, you won't see it again.

OpenAI key

You can create a key at platform.openai.com/api-keys. It starts with sk-. The account needs funds.

Gemini key

You can create a key at aistudio.google.com/apikey. It usually starts with AIza.

How to save the key in WooMate

1. Go to Settings → AI and costs.
2. Paste the key into the API key field for your provider.
3. Click Check and save.

Once it's saved, you'll see The key works and has been saved. and a Saved label next to the provider.

To replace a key, click Change key. If you click Delete, that provider's features stop working until you add a new key.

Keys are stored encrypted. Without an Anthropic or OpenAI key, WooMate AI and Studio don't work. Monitor and CSV and XLSX imports work without a key; reading PDF price lists in Import uses AI.

What's next: choosing a model and the cost of a reply and your monthly AI budget.

Common problems

• The key fails the check. Copy it again, in full.
• The chat reports insufficient funds. Top up your account with the provider. Other messages are covered in AI keys and insufficient funds.
• Studio doesn't generate graphics. Make sure you have a key for the provider selected in the Image engine field.
